A black pitbull dog with white patches is sitting in full sun on green grass. She is facing the sun and has a happy expression with her mouth open and eyes closed.

This week marked one year with Winnie! 🥳
We just learned that Winn was surrendered after her owner dumped her outside a dollar store bc she kept escaping by digging out of his yard. Glad he decided to abandon her instead of chaining her up, bc now she gets to live her best life 🥰

Didn't see it, but I am among birders who will add nocturnal birds based on a 100% sound ID, so I went for it!

Stem of small, white flowers against a mossy backdrop. Commonly called "Dutchman's breeches" these wildflowers have a double-barrel shape reminiscent of pantaloons

In the background, deciduous trees are beginning to unfurl their first spring leaves with a patch of bluebell wildflowers in the foreground

This weekend had it all-- Friendship. Looking at birds. Looking at flowers. Looking at moss. Standing in very cold river water. Looking at rocks. Looking at the moon. etc. Thanks for the friendship and the invite @jmellish.bsky.social

Leviathan Bookstore Leviathan Bookstore is moving from pop-up to permanent home, creating a new hub for independent readers in St. Louis. Help us grow!

Will you look at that? We've found a new home! We could use a little help with moving costs, so if you're able to contribute, we'd be most grateful.

Book wrapped in paper with the teaser: A recipe for this Lush novel: -1 cup of Rufus Wainwright's "Origin of Love" -1 cup of 100 Years of Solitude -2 oz of Derek Walcotts [the Day with all its pain ahead, is yours] "...and the moon's blank tambournine/ and the drizzle's guitars/ and the sunlit wires of the rain/ the shawls/ and the used stars/ and the ruined fountains."

There are books I come back to again & again that changed how I think about life or somehow crystallized feelings & ideas that were once intangible. Popisho by @leoneross.bsky.social is now in this rotation. Lucky to have picked it up as a blind date w/ a book- it is beautiful & special. Read it 🙏🏽

idk when I last read this many books I loved in a row. All hits, no misses in Jan. For Feb, I'll know that tracking daily reading makes for a more satisfying plot 😅
